Filter by:Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a conservative treatment method that has been widely used in musculoskeletal diseases in recent years. Its mechanism is to provide hyperstimulation and vascularity increase with the help of acoustic waves focused on a specific area, thus accelerating healing and reducing pain. This method, which is frequently used in plantar fasciitis, is frequently applied to patients whose symptoms persist despite first-line treatment strategies. Ozone injections have been frequently used in musculoskeletal disorders in recent years and are mainly used in osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis, tendon, fascia and ligament injuries, vertebra and disc pathologies and neuropathic pain. Analgesic effect on musculoskeletal system (release of endorphins, activation of antinociceptive system, reduction of edema) anti-inflammatory effect (regulation of cytokine release, reduction of superoxide radicals, modulation of prostaglandin), regulation of local oxygenation and circulation, tissue repair (neutralization of preteolytic enzymes, fibroblast proliferation) and has an antimicrobial effect. Although it is also used in the treatment of plantar fasciitis, there are limited articles on this subject in the literature. In our study, it was aimed to compare the effectiveness of ESWT and ozone injection therapy, which are two treatment strategies with regenerative action mechanisms, in patients with resistant plantar fasciitis.
Patients with plantar fasciitis between the ages of 25-65 years who presented to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic with the complaint of heel pain and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Demographic data (age, gender, body mass index, symptom duration) will be recorded at the beginning of the study. Then, Foot Functional Index (FFI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scales will be recorded. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 will receive dry needling and Group 2 will receive extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). Patients in the 1st group will undergo 3 sessions of dry needling with Seirin branded 0.6*50 mm acupuncture needles at one week intervals for the trigger point detected by manual palpation in the medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, soleus, flexor digitorum brevis, quadratus plantae, abductor hallucis brevis muscles. Patients in the 2nd group, Patients in this group received three sessions of ESWT (MASTERPLUS MP 200 ENERGY 2 trademarked ESWT device) at an energy density of 2 bars and a frequency of 2,000 shocks/min at 12 Hz for three weeks, each session once a week. Each of the five most sensitive and painful points was given 400 pulses in the supine position
The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of local ozone injection and dextrose prolotherapy applications on pain and foot functions to compare the efficacy and to evaluate the thickness of the plantar fascia.
The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of gastrocnemius stretching exercises on plantar heel pain intensity, foot mobility, and function in patients with plantar fasciitis.
Effectiveness Comparative Effects of Dry Needling and Cross Friction Massage on Patients With Plantar Fascitis
Both shock wave therapy and low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis are effective in improvement of such cases without any side effects but there are no previously published studies on the use of shock wave therapy versus low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis and, hence, evidence of its acceptability and effectiveness compared with each other remains to be established.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of j stroke myofascial release on planter fascia versus ischemic release on gastrocnemius in patients with planter fasciitis.
1. To compare effect of high power pain threshold ultrasound versus myofascial release technique on pain pressure threshold over the medial calcaneal tuberosity of the involved heel in treating of chronic planter fasciitis patients 2. To compare effect of high power pain threshold ultrasound versus myofascial release technique on pain intensity in treating of chronic planter fasciitis patients. 3. To compare effect of high power pain threshold ultrasound versus myofascial release technique on ankle disability function in treating of chronic planter fasciitis patients. 4. To compare effect of high power pain threshold ultrasound versus myofascial release technique on ankle active dorsiflexion range of motionin treating of chronic planter fasciitis patients. 5. To compare effect of high power pain threshold ultrasound versus myofascial release technique on walk endurance. In treating of chronic planter fasciitis patients.
The aim of the present study will be the implementation of two protocols in plantar fasciitis individuals: a) percutaneous neuromodulation, b) percutaneous electrolysis in plantar fascia. Authors hypothesized that percutaneous neuromodulation may have benefits in: pain, quality of life, muscular structure.
Aim of this study is to compare the effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization on gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon on pain,range of motion and foot disability.A randomized control trial that will include total 32 participants and divided into two groups.Patients in Group A will receive instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization of gastrocnemius and Group B will receive instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization of Achilles tendon. While conventional therapy will be given to both groups.Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
